AuthorTopic: Fishing in Fiji and Hawaii (Read 1568 times)

Hey guys, I will be spending a week in Fiji and a week in Oahu over the Christmas Holidays and I would like to do some fishing. Does any one have any experience fishing in these two locations? Any information would be very appreciated.

just came back from a few weeks in hawaii. saw alot of locals fishings from shore with heavy and light gear. rented a rod while my wife shopped for the day. never landed a fish, nor did i see a local land a fish but it was still nice to think it might happen. i checked into the deep sea fishing. why do they call it deep sea if all the action is on the surface? anyway, watched the docks for a few days and didn't see any more then a few mahi mahi being brought in, which they say is "pound for pound the best fighting fish out there". heard that before. good luck and remember, even if you don't catch a fish, your still in hawaii!

Only 80% of the land in Fiji is private property with about 20% a mix of Crown and Freehold. You can fish on that 20% no prob and it's easy to find Crown land as well - usually parks...

Have fun and I've fished there - fish are not that spooky and good to use a buzz bomb since you can cast distance - I used a 3 inch silver buzzbomb and got into some nice 5 to 10 pound trevallys (jacks) from the shore. I used an abu baticaster 5500 with 50lb powerline and 10 foot travel rod.

It's not Fiji, but it is tropical (Maldives actually) and shows you what size fish you *may* get into from shore. It's also a personal reminder to me (despite what the BC gov't of license plates tells you) that there ARE other places on earth even more beautiful or "greatest" then BC lol...
